It'd be nice to have more significant digits (out to four or five at least) in the "Result" column.

Utah is ranked #1. Is that because there are 3 wives having babies for each husband?

No, Utah just has the lowest median age. Lots of older folks in Vermont and Maine means lower reproductive rates in those states.

West Virginia is last...is that because:

1) Everyone is related-->cannot carry babies to term
2) The "Mountain Milk" is suppressing their plumbing?

West Virginia isn't last, it's 48th. Maine is 50th; Vermont is 51st......I don't know how that happened since there are only 50 states. Those states are last or near last because the young people leave the state before marrying and the Mexicans haven't made it that far north yet.

Okay, now I see why Vermont is 51st.....they included the District of Criminals (DC) in the stats.

Explanation right here:
http://www.datamasher.org/data-sets/median-age-census-2008#map-tab

Utah has the youngest median age, followed by Texas and Alaska.

Maine has the oldest median age, followed by Vermont, WV and NH.

The south states are more reproductiv ethan the north ones. Is it becuase life insurance quotes are lower there?
